At least for the internship program, they treat their interns pretty well. There were quite a few fun intern events. They don't ask for anything that would be too difficult and are very lenient with your work schedule.

Cons

My manager seemed a bit overworked from my perspective. It might have just been that his work ethic was beyond amazing, but he definitely could have had an easier time.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

As an intern, I don't think I know enough about this topic to provide any useful input here.

+ Easy technical job (Not lot of challenges) [ There is really no positive to work @ Hughes except that you may have settled closer to office and you just need some job to keep up with family ]

Cons

Tech:

- Still RIP protocol being used :)- Lot of technical people in managerial positions. So, no freedom for engineers to work independently- No peer reviews for new designs. For most part senior directors / directors decide what should be done technically and engineers have to go implement- HR team is really bad- No process internally within Hughes to address inter-team related issues. Such problems contiue to hang on until it hurts end customer and thats when issues gets some attention and effort from staff to get fixed- Pay scale is lower than market rate

Advice to ManagementAdvice

- Management team is getting older and there is immediate need for lateral thinking. Just putting pressue on engineers and making them to work hard is not going to help.- Company should change their management style to hire good talent.- Would suggest Hughes to bring leaders from outside for new leadership positions such as manager, directors etc. instead of promoting internal technical staff.
